🦐 Live Arrival Guarantee – Shrimp
We stand behind our live shrimp shipments with our Live Arrival Guarantee.
To qualify for coverage:
- A clear photo or video of any DOA shrimp must be provided within 2 hours of delivery.
- Photos must show the shrimp inside the unopened original shipping bag.
- The package must be delivered to the correct address entered at checkout.
- Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address.
- Packages should be brought indoors as soon as possible after delivery.
- Shipping charges are non-refundable.
- Approved claims cover the value of the livestock only.
Minor color loss or reduced activity immediately after shipping is normal. Shrimp may require time to recover their full coloration after acclimation.
🌿 Live Plant Guarantee
Live plants may experience minor leaf damage, melting, discoloration, or temporary stress during shipping.
This can be normal and does not necessarily mean the plant is unhealthy.
If a plant arrives severely damaged or unusable, please contact us within 2 hours of delivery with clear photos of:
- The unopened package
- The plant
- Any visible shipping damage
Approved claims are handled based on the condition of the plant upon arrival.
🦐 Shrimp Acclimation
Proper acclimation is extremely important after shipping.
We strongly recommend slow drip acclimation for shrimp before introducing them into your aquarium.
Avoid immediately pouring shipping water into your aquarium.
For best results:
- Open the package and inspect the shrimp.
- Place the shrimp and shipping water into a clean container.
- Slowly drip aquarium water into the container.
- Acclimate gradually before transferring the shrimp.
- Transfer the shrimp with a net whenever possible.
Sudden changes in temperature, pH, GH, KH, or TDS can stress shrimp.
🌿 Plant Acclimation
Live plants should be unpacked shortly after delivery.
Some plants may temporarily lose leaves as they adjust to your aquarium conditions. New submerged growth normally develops once the plant becomes established.
Always research the lighting, nutrients, CO₂, and water parameters recommended for the plants you purchase.
